Children in Dorset have got creative with the play area fencing at their beloved centre.
Youngsters aged between three and 13 used scrap materials to design decorative collages to adorn the security fencing at the Chapelhay Community Playgarden, the Dorset Echo reports.
The project, which drew on wildlife and nature as inspiration, was organised by the play area's community group and was undertaken at the group's Big Picnic day.
"They really brighten the place up. It's all part of our efforts to show that we care about this place and to encourage others to look after it too," Lee Broad, a member of the play area's association, told the newspaper.
"They look great."
Clare Sutton, chairperson of the group, told the news provider the play area fencing project had helped inspire the children.
"Children have been walking past the park with their families and pointing out which ones they did. It gives them a sense of ownership, inclusion and responsibility," she said.
